Republic Services is running behind on collection and has extended its operating hours in an attempt to deal with the downed trees and limbs left by late summer thunderstorms in the area. If you have a large pile of yard debris, it may take several weeks for the items to be removed. If your pile has been tagged, Republic is urging you to follow the instructions provided.

If you have specific questions about yard debris collection, call Cornelius Public Works at 704-895-5212.
